ule on this year’s event.
Elsewhere in Pride country, Asian Pacific-
Islander Pride is making a bigger push to
have their presence known at Portland Pride
this year. As such, they’re looking for involve
ment and leadership from the LGBTQ_Asian
and Pacific Islander community to attend
their twice monthly committee meetings—
held first and third Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m.
at Leftbank (240 N. Broadway).
For more information on how to volunteer,
participate and make this year’s Pride a suc
cess for APIP, email api.pride@gmail.com or
call 503-877-9379 with questions.
Oregon Leather Pride 2011 is looking for
help, too. A unique fundraising campaign has
been launched through the sales of a com
memorative t-shirt. OLP, taking place August
5-14, is operating the t-shirt sales strictly as
pre-order items, rather than ordering large
quantities of shirts hoping to sell them all.
“By setting this up as a pre-order, we can
guarantee that you will get the size you order,
reduce waste, and have it shipped directly to
your home,” said Ben Brown Jr., OLP co
chair, via press release. “We wanted an alter
native to the usual round of fundraising ef
forts, and we believe that we are offering
something of value to the community.”
The t-shirt logo is a white eagle wireframe
image against a navy blue backdrop. Those
who place their orders prior to May 17 will
also receive a hand-numbered, signed OLP
2011 poster. Orders are $20 flat, including
shipping.

tions that work closely together to provide
critical programs and services to thousands of
individuals living with HI V/AIDS.
This year’s Dining Out for Life happens
April 28 at numerous Portland culinary and
cocktail hotspots, but Hopworks Urban Brew
ery is getting a head start. On Monday, April
4 from 4:30 to 10 p.m., patrons who’ve made
reservations to Hopworks (2944 SE Powell
Blvd.) and mention that they’re dining to sup
port Dining Out for Life will have 20 percent
of their bill donated to the cause.
